Teams begin their adventure from Times Square in New York City, where host Phil Keoghan introduces a new game-changing element, "The Save." The team that finishes first in the premiere episode will be awarded "The Save," which they can use to rescue themselves if they come in last on a leg and face elimination. Also, Racers take a gut-wrenching leap of faith during the series' first-ever trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Race continues through London, England, where the Express Pass is on the line, but several teams' hopes of a first-place finish are capsized while boating in a punt in Oxford.
